Editorial Comment: Cost-effectiveness of brain MRI in stroke emergency patients

Published in: European Radiology | Issue 2/2022

Excerpt

In patients with acute stroke suspected, a non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) of the head is usually the first method used for excluding hemorrhagic stroke, helping neurologists to select those eligible for reperfusion therapy. Although this exam is useful for acute management, it has low sensitivity for detecting minor or hyperacute infarcts. …
